It's simply complicated: The LGBT community faces unequal and often unfair tax treatment all over the country, each state having created its own policies regarding same-sex couples. Now, an accounting firm has decided to help.

Starting in June, the new service from international firm Marcum, LLP will keep up-to-date with the changing slew of regulations that the LGBT community faces. And Marcum doesn't require the LGBT client to be in any kind of relationship. It'll help a person who's single, married, a registered domestic partner, divorced, or cohabiting with someone else. With offices in places ranging from Miami to Shanghai, the 1,100-employee firm wants to be a speed dial away from anyone needing help with accounting.

"Because this was unfolding in real time, there were and are no magic rules for LGBT couples," said Nanette Miller, the firm's west coast partner-in-charge of assurance services. "All of a sudden, there's this very complex environment in which LGBT couples need to manage."

Marcum LLP's experience within the Healthcare industry covers the full continuum of care with a special focus within the post-acute care geriatric segments of the industry, hospitals and physician practices.

Some small business owners may pay lower taxes under the Republican tax overhaul, but accountants and consultants will want to read the fine print carefully - once the details are finally settled. And some owners may want to consider changing their corporate structure if parts of the proposed changes go through.

Nonresidential construction spending between September 2016 and September 2017 weakened by nearly 3 percent, with a number of market segments recording double-digit declines, according to the Marcum Commercial Construction Index for the third quarter of 2017.

Marcum LLP is one of the largest independent public accounting and advisory services firms in the nation, with offices in major
business markets throughout the U.S., as well as Grand Cayman, China and Ireland.
